Windows 7 is the latest release of Microsoft Windows, a series of operating systems produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and company as well as the office

Use live cd (HirenBoot, Ubuntu, any live cd)to delete it but prefer Ubuntu Live CD. Delete without any permission for it...

Search in google for any live cd you prefer...

boot into safe mode then delete windows.old
